I've been trying to get better about staying in the green with my nutrients too, but I wondering if going over in sugar is OK if the sugar is from fruit and not candy bars? :)

    You'll get different opinions on this from different people - in my opinion I don't get stressed about going over sugar if its mostly from fruit - because that sugar is coming in a healthy package together with fibre, nutrients etc.

    Having siad that, there still needs to be a limit - Aussie recommendations are for 2 fruit and 5 veg a day which I think is a pretty good guide.

    my personal opinion is if you get the nutrients your supose to get for the day and are staying away from processed sugar then your ok.

    my dietician told me not to worry about sugars from fruits, and to keep added sugars to 35g a day.

    I don't worry about sugars that come from fruit, fruit juice, or greek yogurt.

    I always eat fruit - i figure it's better then a candy bar or chips for a snack.

    I have cut out fruit juice though, because most of what I have found is from concentrate, which generally will have sugar added in.

    This is 10000000% true!

    Although I have around 4 portions of fruit a day :)
